1. You walked “into town” after school every Friday during the intermediate school years.

If you were really cool, you got to be a "walker" on a day other than Friday.

“No way—your mom let you do that?!”

“Yeah, want me to buy you something from Einstein's?”

2. You are more excited for Blossom weekend than for Christmas.

It’s not just a carnival. It’s Blossom.

3. Your parents went to Chagrin and/or your cousins go to Chagrin.

In rare cases your entire extended family has gone to Chagrin, and you all still live there (yes, I’m talking about you Clegg and Mahoney families).

4. The most money you’ve spent on a single item over the course of your life is on Yours Truly notso fries.

One lotso notso has 3856 calories. Let that sink in.

5. If you meet someone who says they are from Chagrin, and you find out they actually went to Kenston, you are immediately LIVID.

We take it very personally.

6. You think (you know) that the Pumpkin Roll is the coolest tradition.

What’s better than being with your 200 closest friends, smashing pumpkins down Grove Hill, and sledding on top of the guts and seeds? Nothing. Literally nothing.

7. You seriously believe that there is no tighter knit community than Chagrin.

It’s just the truth.

8. As a kid, you lived at the Rec Center during the summer.

Swimming lessons then tennis then free swim. Meet ya in the big pool!

9. Any time someone came to visit Chagrin, you showed them “The Falls” and the famous Popcorn Shop.

Did they tell you Chagrin is sooo cute? Yup, I thought so.

10. You can’t imagine any better place to grow up.

One of your proudest titles: Chagrin Falls alumni.
